I'm Back!


Recommended Posts

Hey, all!

Some of you may have wondered where I disappeared to, since I used to post on this forum constantly. Well, I decided to quit hookah for a while. I was heavily addicted to it. It got to be a 5 time a day habit, and I was going through lots of shisha and money. Purchasing coals every 2 weeks, like 4 250g packs of shisha every month. It was crazy. It was as bad as a cigarette addiction. So I gave it up for several months.

But I recently decided to smoke a little bit, and what I had left of my shisha was some kind of fruity I didn't like. So I'm curious if there's any non-fruity, non-minty flavors out there you guys recommend. Fruity, the smell and taste of it, really makes me physically sick to my stomach. I need a more robust type flavor. Like coffee without the cream and sugar, or a nice strong beer. Something manly. wink.gif

nakhla coffee is seriously explosive and it is coffee with no sugar or cream just like you described. Not sweet at all.


The kind of coffee that puts hair on your ass!

I have been there brother!

Nakhla Cinnamon is a good one to get your hands on too!

Hehe.. I didn't exactly mean coffee flavored.. I mean stuff that's robust like black coffee.

And I can't stand cinnamon flavored anything. Candy, rolls, etc.

I thought about vanilla, earl grey, etc. I dunno how sweet vanilla is, though. Too sweet and I might not like it. I like cigar flavor, but I also like a cigar with a nice sweet wrapper that I can suck on. That I want to bite into and eat. Heh. wink.gif

where do you get nakhla coffee from?


umm ... anywhere? lol it's just a typical standard nakhla flavor, many places call it "arabic coffee"

Nakhla Earl Grey will definitely put more hair on your chest. If you smoke it straight, I usually mix it with something.

Floral shishas probably don't sound manly, but my husband prefers them to the fruity flavors and so do I.

Grenadine isn't too fruity, not the AF anyway. My faves are Jasmine (Nakhla), Rose (AF), Earl Grey (Nak), and Pistachio (Nak). At least they're my favorites this month!

Tried some Fantasia Pumpkin Spice and really liked it. It was more spice than pumpkin, sort of nutmeggy, really good--though subtle. HH 7 Spice was okay, a little too subtle but still more spicy than sweet. I liked it.

I haven't tried it yet but I've got some Romman "Summer Crisp" that is supposed to be cucumber flavored, I think. Eager to try it.

So, yeah, lots of stuff out there that isn't fruity. Thank goodness!

Seven Spice, Horchata, Kashmir (if you can find it)

Ohh and everyone who is saying cardamom, that's a pretty minty spice. Even though it's in the same family as ginger I believe. It tastes like ginger ale and menthol (not mint).


I've had Cardamom from ??? at a hookah bar that tasted like cardamom, but only faintly. My guess is that it was AF. I didn't like how mild it was and they mixed it with something fruity for me and it was pretty awesome. So I couldn't wait to buy some Nakhla Cardamom to use as a mixer. NASTY! Like smoking pure menthol. I was so disappointed.

But what's manlier than a sport's cream flavored shisha?

ya, Tangiers Horchata is great...their Clove isnt bad

Clove! I forgot about clove, great non-fruity flavor. Gives hubby a headache, but I love it. Have only ever smoked Fusion's Clove, have some HH Clove but haven't tried it yet.

I ordered some Nakhla Earl Grey and Tangiers OG Sour from John. I got the sour 'cause I remember liking it before. More than any of the other flavors I had at the time. I also liked Tangiers Blue Gumball, even though it can be tricky. Not so much fruity flavored.

Fruity flavors I've never liked to smoke are:

Apple (or Double Apple) with anise flavor or not
Cherry
Watermelon
Sweet Melon
Peach
Orange (or mandarin)

I've liked lemon in the past, but only if it's a real sour lemon flavor, not a sweet lemon flavor.

Maybe they should start making vegetable flavored shisha? I wouldn't mind smokin some carrot or celery shisha. biggrin.gif
